Apopka's Hometown Demolition Contractor
Demolition & Excavation
in Apopka, FL
Apopka is our hometown. Mintel Land Management lives, works and runs out of Apopka: our yard, our machines and our crew are right here in town, so we are not a company driving in from somewhere else. From the older homes off Park Avenue to the newer builds out toward Rock Springs and Kelly Park, we know this ground, the county permit office and the neighbors next door.
Apopka is where we live and where our yard is, so we can usually walk an Apopka property the same day you call. When you hire us you are hiring your neighbor. Response in Apopka is same-day, often within hours.

Working in Apopka
An Apopka housing stock split down the middle
The Census puts the median year built for Apopka homes at 2002, which tells you the town is two places at once. The original city core around Park Avenue and East Main Street has older homes, older slabs and the occasional building that has outlived its use. The newer side, out toward Rock Springs, Errol Estate, Wekiva and Kelly Park, is newer subdivisions and open lots still being built on. So the jobs we see split too: teardowns, pool removals and driveway tear-outs closer to the core, and build pads, trenching and stump work on the newer and larger lots. Our own yard is here in Apopka, which is why we can usually walk a property the same day.
Permits, the landfill and what to ask about
City permits go through the Apopka Building-Safety Department, on the second floor at 120 E. Main St, 407-703-1713. For a demolition, the city wants a Certification of Service Disconnect from Duke Energy, Apopka Water Utilities and Lake Apopka Natural Gas, and the work done within 30 days. Debris goes to the Orange County Landfill on Young Pine Road, the only county site that takes it. Two local things are worth knowing. The Apopka CRA offers a demolition grant for blighted buildings in the old city core, and sinkholes have opened in Apopka before, so ground checks matter before any fill.

- The Apopka Community Redevelopment Agency offers a Demolition Assistance Grant of up to $20,000, no match required, for taking down blighted or unsafe buildings inside the CRA district in the original city core. If your property is in the district, ask us about it before you pay for a teardown.
- Sinkholes have opened in Apopka neighborhoods before, so we look at the ground and how the lot drains before we fill a pool or set a pad.
Rules and fees checked against official sources in October 2026. Cities change them, so we confirm with City of Apopka Building-Safety Department before every job.

For addresses in unincorporated Orange County, the county requires drain holes punched through the bottom of the shell and a passed demolition inspection before the pool is filled.
- Do I need a permit to remove trees in Apopka?
- Tree removal falls under the Apopka Land Development Code, Section 5.3. Under Florida law, a home owner needs no city permit when a certified arborist documents that a tree is a real danger.

“We hired Mintel Land Management to demo a house and the job was completed on time and everything was done correctly, inspectors were glad to have a good contractor on the job.”
“I have used this company over a dozen times with the removal of trees and stumps in my yard. The owner has become more of a friend then just a demolition company.”
“Reliable and dependable. Straightforward pricing does great work. Will definitely use again.”
“We contacted Kyle in hopes that he would be able to remove a very large pine stump from our back yard and grade the area after removal. He was above and beyond helpful and even cleared the vacant property lines on both sides of our property! He was very professional and respectful of our property, he was on time and his prices were very reasonable for the work performed. We will definitely be using his services in the future for our driveway widening project and any other future projects. 6 stars, I highly recommend using Mintel Land Management.”
“Excellent experience from start to finish. Fast, professional, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend and use again.”
“Kyle came and pulled a few fallen trees out at my property and graded out another part. He came when he said he was going to as well.”
